We need to stand up against AI Data Centres and big tech!

Ontario's Energy Minister, Stephen Lecce has said that “Ontario is expecting 16 more such data centres by 2035 and their forecast demand for power is six times higher than previously thought". We need to keep an eye out on these 16 data centres and let the government know that Ontarian's will not pay for these AI data centres. We do not want data centres to take away our water and clean electricity and hike up our utility bills. They create few jobs and mostly benefit American companies (like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, OpenAI, etc) and rich tech oligarchs. Say NO to AI data centres!

Join our virtual town hall meeting on AI data centres on Wednesday, April 22nd from 7:30-8:30pm.

Organizer: Environmental Defence

Join Environmental Defence for a webinar tackling a very important question: as the world shifts to clean energy, will Canada lead, or fall behind?

The energy transition is happening now, and countries are moving from fossil fuels to renewable energy, electrification, and smarter energy use. Canada has the resources, technology, and know-how to lead, but only if we act now. For Canadians, this transition means more jobs, lower energy bills, cleaner air, and stronger communities.

Decisions made today on pipelines, clean energy investment, and climate policy, will shape Canada’s economy, jobs, and global competitiveness for decades. This webinar will explain the current global trends in energy investment, where Canada stands, what’s at stake, and the practical steps needed to lead in the clean energy future.

Nearly a century has passed since public pressure led to the establishment of the New York City Noise Abatement Commission in 1929. Ordinances, laws and regulations around the world were similarly trying to address this new and unintended side-effect of modernity as industrial machinery, trucks, cars, trains and airplanes were built and used with little regard for those exposed to the sounds – the receiver – produced by their operation. While there have been notable reductions in noise at source and during transmission, one can argue that the receivers (e.g., people) are in the same predicament they were 100 years ago, in large part because of our subjective experiences of sound and the challenges of controlling sound waves as a physical phenomenon. This seminar will provide an overview of predominant approaches to characterizing, understanding and controlling environmental noise exposures, and highlight contextual and cultural nuances that complicate the goal of noise reduction in Toronto and Canada at large.

As Queen's Park session opens again, this is a reminder to the current government about the amount cumulative damage to land and water that their legislation and policies are causing: selling off provincial park land at Wasaga Beach; Ontario Place ecosystem destruction and tree cutting; the proposed 413 and Bradford Bypasses that cut through environmental sensitive lands and fresh water systems; legislation that threaten fresh water from heavy industrial water takings by undermining of guardrail protections; gutting of the Endangered Species Act; potential impact on the Breathing Lands of James Bay; and the proposed amalgamation of the Conservation Authorities; - just to name a few!

Please join us at the front of Queen's Park Legislative Building for an hour to make our voices heard.

Organizer: School of Cities

Join Jesse M. Keenan in conversation about his recently published book, North: The Future of Post Climate America (Oxford University Press).

In North: The Future of Post-Climate America, Jesse M. Keenan argues that America is entering a new era marked by shifts in population that will transform everything from the physical landscape of cities to electoral politics. First, Keenan examines how human mobility is shaped by the environment and the economy. Next, he provides a conceptual and empirical overview of adaptation science, with a focus on how people, governments, and markets are preparing for and responding to climate impacts. He documents how physical impacts in the built environment, escalating costs, and public sector inertia are converging to drive people out of high-risk areas, while, at the same time, certain other areas are attracting people who seek a more sustainable way of life. North is not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about the peril of those left behind. It is also a projection of optimism about America’s capacity for decarbonization, environmental stewardship, and economic mobility for those on the move.

Explore your role in Toronto’s food system and envision a more just, resilient future through discussion, mapping, and food justice action.

This workshop invites participants to step back and examine how they personally fit within Toronto’s food system — as eaters, workers, growers, organizers, and community members. Through guided discussion and mapping activities, we’ll explore who holds power in the current system, who is excluded, and what a more just, resilient, and community-rooted food system could look like. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of local food system dynamics and concrete ways to engage in food justice work at the neighbourhood and city scale.
